This springy shawl is perfect for light seasons with chilly mornings and breezy afternoons. A simple lace leaf repeat keeps you entertained, while garter stitch provides plenty of relaxation. The lace pattern, “scalloped leaves,” is from Nicky Epstein’s wonderful book Knitting on the Edge. The very special yarn featured in this shawl was made by my friend and local shepherd, Theresa. I love how the yarn is fuzzy and rustic-looking but still quite soft. I hope you love knitting this shawl and wearing it to your heart’s content!
Construction Notes
1. Shawl is worked flat from point to point in Garter Stitch, with a lace leaf pattern worked along the longest edge.
2. Gradual increases are worked for the first half of shawl, then gradual decreases are worked for the second half of shawl, creating a slim crescent shape.
